Corso Como Collection, Design Apartments

Corso Como Collection, Design Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Corso Como Collection, Design Apartments on one of Milan‘s most fashionable streets, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical hotel setup. The building sits right in the heart of the Porta Nuova district, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. This four-star property feels more like staying in a friend’s incredibly well-designed apartment than checking into a standard hotel — which is exactly the point, I suppose.

The Neighborhood Advantage

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re literally on Corso Como, which means you can stumble out the door and find yourself among some of the city’s best aperitivo bars within minutes. The Porta Nuova area has this perfect mix of old Milan charm and new energy — there’s construction happening around you as the city modernizes, but the classic Milanese elegance is still very much intact. I mean, you’re walking distance from both the Duomo and the emerging business district, so whether you’re here for fashion week or just exploring, it works.

Living Like a Local

Each room is actually more of a design-forward studio or one-bedroom setup, and they’ve clearly put thought into making these spaces functional for longer stays. The kitchenette isn’t just for show — it’s actually equipped well enough that you could make a decent breakfast or heat up leftovers from that amazing trattoria down the street. The interiors lean heavily into contemporary Italian design, lots of clean lines and quality materials, though some might find it a bit stark if you prefer cozier vibes.

Practical Considerations

Here’s something I appreciated — the staff actually knows the neighborhood and can point you toward spots that aren’t just the obvious tourist traps. Parking in this area can be tricky (welcome to Milan), but they do have arrangements that help. The building itself is well-maintained, though you should know that some units face the street, which means a bit of urban noise — not terrible, but worth mentioning if you’re a light sleeper.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it lets you experience Milan like you actually live here, rather than just passing through. You’re not eating hotel breakfast every morning — instead, you can grab cornetti from the café around the corner like any self-respecting Milanese would. The design aesthetic feels authentically Italian without being themed or overdone, and the location genuinely puts you in the middle of everything that makes modern Milan interesting. For travelers who want independence with hotel-level service, it’s actually a pretty smart choice.

Reviews of Corso Como Collection, Design Apartments

• Amazing! Would recommend and stay again! – Yolanda from United States – 8 September 2025 (10/10)

  Property was as described, location was amazing, and clean. Conveniently located across the street from train station which was a plus.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing I didn’t like but something for others to consider: property does not have direct access to street. It is located in a pedestrian only street so taxi/uber drop off is a short walk away rather than in the front. Also, party ambiance is located downstairs, music may be heard.

• Exceptional – Federica from United Kingdom – 8 September 2025 (10/10)

  Clean and very modern.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to complain. It is perfect for a short stay

• Good place but Avoid weekends – Samer from Belgium – 21 July 2025 (8/10)

  Good place for a city like Milano

  What could be improved: No complaints!

• It was OK overall. – Svetoslava from Bulgaria – 11 June 2025 (8/10)

  It is near Brera and other fine districts. Good transport communication with center and train station.
  
  What could be improved: The noise from the disco bars during the night. It was weekend, so I suppose during the week is calmer. It needs a little bit more attention to cleaning.

• Good central location for people who love party. – Дима from Austria – 7 June 2025 (8/10)

  Central location, good bed, ac
  
  What could be improved: There is some club under the windows, so it was kinda loud at night. Should have taken earplugs.

• Very good – Doug from United States – 29 May 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, easy to access
  
  What could be improved: Ambiance is fairly functional, though spacious

• Good – Sergio from Spain – 12 May 2025 (7/10)

  Nice, apartment very practical, it is just for a couple, maximum 3 persons (a child probably)
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is advertised with an AC, which is a central A/C for all the building, which is only turned on after the building has the authorization to do so from the Italian authorities, so the A/C only works between mid-May to mid-September (more or less), unfortunately in my stay at the beginning of May the weather was already very warm and there was no A/C working, which made it hard to be inside the apartment even at night.
  I suggest this has to come on the advertising of the apartment.
  Th host was very nice providing a fan, but it was far from enough to be comfortable.

• Comfortable apartment in convenient location – Anne-marie from United Kingdom – 9 May 2025 (8/10)

  I liked dealing with the management team. Location is great for an apartment near station.
  It was clean and comfortable.
  They arranged a late checkout because I was unwell which I appreciated enormously.
  
  What could be improved: Coffee machine didn’t work
